Happy Birthday Me

It’s a lovely little device

It’s my birthday today. Yay! Above you can see my present to myself. It’s a Minox daylight developing tank. It lets me take film from my tiny spy camera and develop it without needing a darkroom. You put the film cassette inside the tank and the film is pulled out into the developing spiral. Then you add tiny amounts of developer and fixer and then you get your strip of developed negatives. At least, that’s the theory. I’m looking forward to trying it for real.

My birthday was great. Lots of cards and presents. And chocolates. And cake. Good times.
